though several tried to see them. While
they we're confined four members of the

WASHINGTON, June 28.-The commits
sioner general of the land Office has issued
to registers and receivers of the United

governing proceedings to obtain title to
public lands under the desert land laws.
According to it lands bordering upon
streams, lakes or other natural bodies of
water or through or upon which there is
any river, stream, arroyo. lake, pond or
body of water or living spring, are not
subject to entry under the desert land law
until the c~leanest proof of their desert
character is furnished. Lands containing
sufficient moisture to produce a natural
growth of trees are not to be classed as
desert lands, and surveys of desert land
claims cannot be made in advance of the
regular process OF public surveys.

CHICAGO, June 2S.-The Daily Netcs
this evening says: A startling rumor has
been widely circulated in the city to day
to the effect that the supreme court had
decided to give the condemned anarchists
a new trial, overriding Judge Gary's de
cision. The rumor cannot, however, be
traced to a responsible source. States
Attorney Grinnell knew nothing about it,
and Judge Magruder, member of the
supreme court, declined to confirm or deny
the rumor. His manner seemed to indi-
cate that the report lacked foundation.

CHICAGO, June 2S.-News reached
Ozark to day of a foul murder committed
in Douglas county last Thursday. Penn
berton Hutless, while on his way to his
mill was shot and instantly killed by an
unknown assassin in ambush. Suspicion

motive OF the assassin is supposed to have
been revenge. The greatest excitement
prevails in the vicinity of the murder and
farmers are said to be working their crops
in squads, no man being willing to risk

as an advocate for a bridge across the river
at Franklin avenue. He seemed to lack The
quaint humor of his brother, or else has be-
come so thoroughly impregnated with the
spirit of the Sixth ward that the question of a
bridge swakens in his heart emotions of pro-
found solemnity and earnestness, for he en-

that the future of the Twin Cities depends
upon that particular bridge.

DIR. Sample Formally Dismissed by
the st. Paui Presbyfery.
The PresbyterY of st. Paul met yesterday
afternoon in the lecture room of Westmin-
ster church. A large number of the MEM
bers of the church was present. as the res
ignation of DR.. Sample was to be passed
upon by the presbytery. After arranging
for the installation of Rev. n. II. Bell, to
whom Highland Park church has extended
call, to take place Sunday evening, Jan.
20, the presbytery proceeded to consider
the request of DR.. Sample and
Westminster church. asking for a
dissolution of the passionate. DIR. Sample
was first heard. and he recited substantially
the same reasons that have already ap-
peared in the GLOBE. The doctor expressed
regret at seyering relations with his congre-
CATION, the presbytery. and the various
churches of other denominations in the
city. to whom he had become deeply at
tached
Elder Charles T. Thompson then pre-
sented the records Of the church covering
all action taken in the premises. In his
remarks he said that it had been suggested
that CO. paStorate would solve the diff
Guilty, but the session had regarded such a
solution as impracticable. They had offered
to employ lay assistant at salary of
$1,000 and a stenographer for 5000 a year
to aid DR.. Sample. but these propositions
were not accepted, and the congregation
had reluctantly consented to unite with the
pastor in placing the matter before the
presbytery. After very long discussion
of the subject, in which great many pres.
byters expressed regret for DR.. Samples
departure. and not few reflections were
cast upon the session of the church for not
offering still further inducements, the vote
was finally taken, and the pastorate was
declared ended. Prof. McClain was APP
pointed to fill the pulpit of Westminster
next Sunday and formally announce to the
church the action of the presbytery.
